In monitoring ports charges, the Commission evaluates Flinders Ports’ price increases against changes in the Adelaide Consumer Price Index (CPI), with the requirement that Flinders Ports must provide to the Commission reasons to explain any rise in prices above the increase in the CPI.

Adelaide March 2015 to March 2016 annual CPI increase was 0.7 percent.

Flinders Ports has advised the Commission that ports users were consulted prior to the implementation of the 2016-17 price increases, and that no concerns relating to these prices were raised. In addition, no concerns have been raised with the Commission over price increases following their publication by Flinders Ports.
